since february 2024, i've been working as an engineer and technical lead at avalon in berkeley, ca. alongside a talented team of three engineers, i've been developing a retrieval-augmented generation chatbot tailored for law firms. this chatbot automates eDiscovery and drafts motions and briefs by leveraging tens of thousands of case files using technologies like pinecone, nextjs, dynamodb, typescript, and go. i've also spearheaded the creation of a web socket file transfer pipeline to aws s3, ensuring efficient downstream feeding into our rag model. moreover, i've optimized our language models with langchain to assess the probability of case wins, aggregating metrics from various documents to enhance decision-making processes. as a team, we sucessfully pitched to various venture capitalists and had a couple law firms using our product. we decided put the pause on this until we graduate.

since june 2023, i’ve been the go-to person for all things tech at opsm pro in ottawa, ca, as their lead full stack engineer. i built our main e-commerce site using the mern stack (mongo, expressjs, react, nodejs) from the ground up. integrating the stripe api, i set up a system to handle over a dozen products and subscriptions, helping us process more than $1,000,000 in payments each year. plus, i designed and implemented mysql databases to keep all our user and customer info safe.
